Christel House SA would love it if the Cape Town blogging community got behind this most worthy cause and supported us at the first

“Tweet-Up-For-A-Cause”

The event is happening on Saturday,

the 31st of Jan

Time: 10am—12

Directions: From Lansdowne Wetton circle, right into old Stranfontein road & right again into Swallocliffe drive Ottery.

The plan of action: is to plant trees in an island in the driveway of the school as well as along the fence. Everyone who participates will get their name on the tree that they help plant!

Its an amazing initiative as the school does so much for the children. We would absolutely love it if you would join us for this truly special event! Look forward to seeing you there!

Since its foundation in 2002, Christel House has operated from cramped premises in Athlone, but now it is spreading its wings and moving to a brand new site – currently under construction in Swallowcliffe, Ottery.
